Re: [Asterisk-Users] Text to Speech - Someone needs to do this

2003-07-16 Thread Chris Albertson

People working on this have found that context influences the
pronounciation of words.  I think the root cause of this is
that the human vocal tract cannot re-shape itself for different
sounds instantly and must move from the previous sound to the next
sound, we hear the movement.  If it does instantly change then
we hear it as un-natural robot-like speach.  Your proposed system
would sound just like what it is, a sequence of words.
Good systems not only look at phonetic context but also
inflection like tone, volume and pitch range and speed.

Cursive hand writting is this way too.  Cursive fonts don't
look like real hand writting because each letter is always
the same

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Poll - Would you pay $30-$50 for high quality speech synthesis?

2003-07-16 Thread John Laur
 Also almost forgot. They sell the demo voices on their site for 29.99.
 Linux and windows versions. Since I believe what they use is based off
 festival, perhaps the voices could be made to plug into the existing
 festival plugin for asterisk?

I have been working with app_festival for about a week or so now trying
to figure out what is going on with it... The existing app_festival has
a serious bug in it that makes it unsuitable for production use. I
posted about it before, but the jist is that the more channels that are
trying to use app_festival at the same time, the more problems there are
-- the channel will abort, and this will result in asterisk abandoning
the call.  I have tried tracing it with all sorts of things including
stepping back through some truly monumental gdb logs. The problem is not
on the festival side of things, as the preforking festival keeps up fine
with asterisk, and the problem occurs even when using the festival cache
(broken in the current code - my patch fixes it)

I cannot find the bug after a week of poking at the code. As I intended
to use app_festival as a temporary replacement for recorded voice
prompts in an AGI application, it was no big deal at first as it works
100% if if you always wait for the speech to finish and only use one
channel (fine for testing), but after having the flexibility to do
speech synthesis, I can see that it would be a tremendously good
application for even the IVR that I am working on...

Anyway, I hope this speech project gets off the ground. Staying all OSS
is very nice, but after spending a lot of time mucking with it, I'd be
easily willing to spend $50 for a great sounding, working solution. I'm
still going to be poking at app_festival, though, so if anyone has
suggestions or understands some of the internals and wants to work on
this with me, please mail me off-list. Having a 100% working and
production-ready solution for festival would be good for a number of
reasons and I'd like to see this happen too!

[Asterisk-Users] GOTO inside AGI

2003-07-16 Thread isamar

I'm trying to Make a Goto inside a agi to another context/priority

I used SET CONTEXT callh323, SET PRIORITY 1, SET EXTENSION s

Apparently the SET EXTENSION is still assuming the value defined
initially(), what is not defined in the new Context.

I must say this is basically correct

BUT

Remember that festival is actually based phonetically. remember
that and modify your text accordingly and you might be surprised at the
results.

in the dir where you started *. but you must have to issue 
'ulimit -c unlimited' if you wanna asterisks dump cores.

if you're starting it via the init.astersik script, you will found

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7960g

2003-07-16 Thread Siggi Langauf
On Wed, 16 Jul 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Has anybody tried Cisco 7960G? Or 7940?

sure, using them all the time here (the Skinny version, which requires
Cisco CallManager which in turn connects to asterisk via H.323).

The hardware (same as for the SIP version, in fact you can convert between
SIP, MGCP and Skinny versions by uploading new firmware) is pretty cool:
great speaker phone, support for standard headset, big LCD. Just the
handset is a bit chunky at least for European standards, and it often
sounds worse than speakerphone mode...

WRT the software, it's another thing, though: I found the phones crashing
quite often, as soon as you try doing anything but standard phone calls
(like using XML push services to display stuff on the LCD, or daring to
assign non-CallManager URLs to some of the service buttons).
So if stability is important, don't run them outside protected intranet
environments!

 What audio compressions can I use with this phone and Asterisk? Reason
 why I'm asking is because Cisco supports G.711 and G.729a audio
 compression (probobaly some tohers but they are not listed on data
 sheet) and on Asterisk features i found that it supports G.729 but need
 licence.

G.711 (both A-law and µ-Law) works fine with asterisk. (That's just log
scale PCM audio, so while it comes at 64kbit/s, it's quite good quality.)

 What I'm asking is wheter Cisco 7960G is working with Asterisk and what
 can I expect from it (quality, codec support, ...)

Sure is. I've seen people running the 79xx SIP models with Asterisk.
G.711 is supported out of the Box whereas G.729 support for asterisk works
if you purchase a license from Digium.

 Second question would be, are two SIP phones enough for testing/playing
 with Asterisk?

Yes, but for fully functioning Music on Hold or conferences, you'll need a
zaptel device: either one of the digium cards or one of the software
dummies (ztdummy, zaprtc or hfcdummy, IIRC). They are required to provide
timing interrupts for synchronization.

Cheers,
Siggi

[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7905G vs ATA186

2003-07-16 Thread Steven Honson
Hi All,

I'm looking at getting some Cisco VoIP hardware to play with in 
combination with a Asterisk server.

I've heard that there is beta software available to do SIP on the 7905G.

So, I'm thinking of either getting a 7905G or a ATA186.

My dillema is, which one to buy?

I can get both for about the same price, has anyone had any experience 
with using a 7905G with Asterisk?

On one hand it would be useful to have a ATA186 for its two ports, might 
be useful for testing stuff (Can you call between the two ports on a 
ATA186 ok?).

But on the other hand, having a proper IP Phone would be cool also.

Cheers,
Steven

[Asterisk-Users] voicemail instructions

2003-07-16 Thread Florian Overkamp
Hi,

I've been playing with Voicemail and Voicemail2 a bit for my users, and 
there are a few things I'm wondering about:

- We can specify parameters to the mailbox (s, b or u) to select which 
prompts to play. However, if we specify 'b' or 'u' it plays that 
(customisable) message, but it also plays the voicemail instructions. For 
the dutch, it is customary that a user creates their own message which 
includes 'please leave your message after the tone' or similar, so the 
generic message is undesirable (or should be override-able). Is there 
something in the apps I've missed that allows this already ?

- In voicemailmain2 there is no option in the menu that allows creating 
your own messages (in fact, option 3 is defunct). Is this in the coming, or 
am I missing more stuff ?

Thanks!

[Asterisk-Users] Timeout in Call Transfering

2003-07-16 Thread surajee
hi,

Can anybody pls tell me, how to increase the time gap between 2 digits when you  
transfer a call.
ie, the operator answers the call, and presses hash key to transfer, and then enters 
the extension 
number, some times, it timeouts too quickly before the operator enters the whole 
extension number 
(may be bcos the operator is slow).
I tried the following, but it doesn't seems to be helping when it comes to call 
transfering 
...
exten = s,4,DigitTimeout,5 ; Set Digit Timeout to 5 seconds
exten = s,5,ResponseTimeout,10 ; Set Response Timeout to 10 seconds
...

can anybody gv me an idea?

Thank you inadvance,

As far as I know the Sip support for the 7905 has not been generally

Text-to-Speech (TTS) is usually either formative, created by synthesis of 
sounds; or concatenative, created by concatenating sounds of actual speech 
samples.

However, concatenative TTS usually works by using small fragments of 
speech, not entire words. The storage requirements are much smaller, and it 
gives the system an opportunity to pick units of speech that match the 
units of speech that precede and follow them.

The real trick is to get the correct posidy. Here's three sentences with 
the same words but each with different prosidy:

I said 'yes.'

I said yes?

_I_ said '_yes_'???!!

Both formative and concatenative systems add prosidy. Adding prosidy to 
whole-word concatentative systems is difficult.

If you're in a buying mood, there are some excellent TTS systems available. 
For example, Rhetorical (http://www.rhetorical.com) has some excellent 
voices. And they have the funniest TTS current available is the Southern 
California female voice; I use it for non-serious demos (That's so 
totally awesome.)

Commercial TTS is actually very intelligble and perfectly adequate for many 
tasks.

This is why there is a users list and a developers list.
As a user, I just want a CD with typical config ready to go.
As a developer, I want to play with and tweak everything, including the OS.

Others are asking for a GUI or web interface.  There's a place for all of this.

Look at what's involved in getting started:

Hey all,

quick question: does asterisk work okay in a Cygwin environment?

I want to install it on my cygwin setup for local testing/demoing and save
me the hassle of using a pure linux machine

As long as it doesn't take a huge huge performance hit from running out of
Cygwin, then I'll have a go there for a start

confirmation appreciated!
thanks

[Asterisk-Users] Vendors for phones

2003-07-16 Thread Steve Creel
I'm in the process of setting up a test/demonstration system to show that
VoIP is realistic and applicable for our needs.  We put a 7905 and 7960 on
a request for quote that went out the other day (to people like CDW 
Microwarehouse).  All of the vendors returned thier quotes without
including the Cisco phones.  So my question: where do you buy your phones?
We can't buy direct from Cisco (must have 3 quotes).

They seem to work with asterisk. I don't yet have a couple myself but on
irc there are people who use them. Join #asterisk on irc.freenode.net

 What about the prices ?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] grandstream sip phone

2003-07-16 Thread WipeOut .
I have been testing a couple of them for about 2 weeks now..

They are very good for the price..

The only issue that I still have is that the phone does not seem to be able to pickup 
the time correctly from an NTP server that is not on the local network so the display 
always shows 1900-XX-XX for the date.. This issue I am sure will be solved in the near 
future..

I also have SNOM200's which are awesome phones but they are over twice the price 
including shipping of the GS phones to the UK.. Without shipping I would be able to 
get nearly 3 GS phones for the price of one SNOM200...

Unfortunately the GS phone does not have a GSM codec but it does support just about 
every other codec out there and supports just about every feature you could want for a 
standard desktop phone..

If you want to know more let me know..

[Asterisk-Users] Sip codec preferences

2003-07-16 Thread Brancaleoni Matteo
Hi.
I'm experiencing a issue (not big, but important)
I have an asterisk installation with a buch of sip
phones  analog ones.
I have 2 1 sip phone that's outside in the world,
and is nat'ed. I'm using g.729 with it.
I wanna use g.729 only for the remote phone, and ulaw
for the local ones, since they're on a lan.
What happens? when I call the remote phone, g.729 is used,
but when the remote calls ulaw is used... beside there's
a disallow=all , allow=g729 is the user definition.

so seems that when we call it, the codec definitions
are taken from the user config itself, but when
it call us, the codec defs are from the global settings.

that's the same if we call remote (or receive) from an analog
or iax phone.

Here's a snippet of my sip.conf:


;
; SIP Configuration for Asterisk
;
[general]
port = 5060
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
context = local
tos = lowdelay
disallow = all
allow = ulaw

;local phone definition

[200]
accountcode=localphone
mailbox=200
type=friend
secret=secret
username=200
host=dynamic
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1

; remote phone definition
[250]
accountcode=remotephone
type=friend
secret=X
nat=yes
username=250
context=local
reinvite=no
disallow=all
allow=g729
canreinvite=no
host=dynamic
qualify=1000
callgroup=1
pickupgroup=1

Any hint?

 Thanks for your reply. I tried changing the constant DEFAULT_CIDRINGS to
 2. However I still don't get callerid information. Is this what you were
 referring to?

 Thanks,
 Hafeez

You don't have another caller ID device on the line do you?

My X100P cards won't recognise the caller ID when my cordless phone is
plugged into the line (which also has caller ID).

Also, I haven't been monitoring the list too much; so I don't know if this
has been mentioned; but do you have the following in your zapata.conf:

usecallerid=yes
callerid=asreceived

Once that was done on my system; the X100P cards pickup caller ID fine for
me (I'm in Sydney).

[Asterisk-Users] Analog features over the ATA-186

I have been using the ATA-186 with good success (with
exception of the fact that you have to recycle it from time to time). The one
thing I havent been able to do is to figure out how to make use of
parking, transfers, etc. My cordless doesnt seem to pass DTMF, so I
havent had any success with parking. As for transfers, I can do a flash
and get dial tone, but then what are my options at that point for transferring?



Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for your enthuastic response.

There's this Linux project out there for 802.11 at:

They have figured out how to make this type of distribution package work.

Don't get me wrong, Asterisk seems to have just about everything from a feature 
standpoint.  The open source concept is one that I support.  We run FreeBSD for 
routers and I love it.

You are absolutely correct about the need to learn about Linux distributions and 
installers.  Most people don't and some find it too difficult (I suppose that they are 
the ones who should stick to Windows?).

Hardware costs?  I guess these guys that have a hardware cost problem  have never 
priced a Dialogic 240xx/T1 or the quad card. Used single T1 Dialogic cards are $1100.

I tried my best to not include the windows comments in my post. It
wasn't a route I wanted to go in this argument. But since we are here
anyways, I'm concerned that if it becomes too easy to have a system
connected to the PSTN and the net that we will see people looking this
way for exploits. The difficulty here is that they don't have to exploit
asterisk to get in and set up new accounts and then use asterisk to
route them to the PSTN. The current level of knowledge required to get
started should help weed out the people who helped NIMDA and CODE_RED
along. We all know they exist no matter what OS they use.

 Hardware costs?  I guess these guys that have a hardware cost problem 
 have never priced a Dialogic 240xx/T1 or the quad card. Used single T1
 Dialogic cards are $1100.
 
 *** The digium hardware offerings are the best price that I've seen

And that is the very reason why my company and myself personally have
bought hardware from Digium. We currently have 4 machines with 320 cards
that seem to go for over $1500 used, and it is only 16 analog FXO ports.

[Asterisk-Users] Multiple Phones for 1 Extension

2003-07-16 Thread Justin Eckhouse
Hi,

I'd like to have a SIP phone at home and at the office and have them both
ring when my extension is dialed. Right now I used the same config for the
phones (Cisco 7960's). So they both register with the same login  pw. This
doesn't seem to work quiet right, where only the last phone to register
seems to get the calls.

What is the proper way to set this up?

Thanks,
Justin

Have the phones register with different names (make a separate entry for
each phone in sip.conf) then specify them both in the dial string
separated by '' .. you can specify as many as you want and all will
ring. The one to answer gets the call, naturally.

exten = 3000,1,Dial(SIP/phoneoneSIP/phonetwo)

Multiple usernames and passwords, then use the dial command properly
-- show application dial --

  -= Info about application 'Dial' =- 

[Synopsis]:
  Place an call and connect to the current channel

[Description]:
 
Dial(Technology/resource[Technology2/resource2...][|timeout][|options][|URL]):
Requests  one  or more channels and places specified outgoing calls on

From this you should not that you could do...

Two interesting things about SSML (which used to be called Sable). One - 
there is almost no support for it amongst the commercial TTS packages. 
Two - even the people who wrote the SSML spec don't seem to have fully 
implemented it. The markup in most commercial TTS software is both 
proprietary and cranky.

You are wrong. All the packages I know, except Eloquence and maybe 
RealSpeak, are based at some level on Festival. The ones derived from 
Naturally Speaking have most of the Festival directories still in place. 
Strange, but true.

[Asterisk-Users] Problems getting 7960's to play nice with Asterisk

2003-07-16 Thread sjacobs
I'm trying to get my newly flashed 7960's to play nice with Asterisk, but
I'm having some problems. I can get my 7960 to register with the proxy,
and if I dial my own extension, according to my dial plan asterisk should
transfer me to voice mail. Asterisk thinks its playing me voice mail
prompts, but the phone just rings busy. I'm using the 4.4 cisco flash.

Other things:
The phone constantly says Ethernet Disconnected. Even though it tftp's
configs and registers with the proxy.

I get no dialtone on the SIP phone.

I'm using the default diaplan.xml file.

I'm running asterisk from cvs as of yesterday. I have one zaptel interface
but I haven't configured * for it yet. (I figured being able to call
voicemail was a good first test).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

here is my sip.cnf:

[Asterisk-Users] IAX pauses

2003-07-16 Thread Jan Rychter
Hi,

I'm running asterisk in the following setup

Phone - WX100USB - * - Internet - * - WX100P - PSTN

The two Asterisks talk to each other via IAX2 and use GSM for voice.

This seems to work quite well except for occasional pauses in voice
transmission. These seem to occur in _one_ direction only (when I'm on
the phone, I can't hear the person that I called via the PSTN), last
several seconds (as in one to five seconds) and are unrelated to network
connectivity (a ping in another window runs just fine all the time).

What could be the cause? What else could I do to help hunt down that
bug?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] grandstream sip phone

2003-07-16 Thread Stefano Finetti
I'm working greatly with 40+ Grandstream phones. Audio quality is good
enough for production environment, the cost is really low and the
configuration is *Really* easy.

But a little answer to Wipeout is:

 The only issue that I still have is that the phone does not seem to be
able to pickup the time correctly from an NTP server that is not on the
local network so the display always shows 1900-XX-XX for the date.. This
issue I am sure will be solved in the near future..


Have you tried to mantain the default ntp server on your phone? (the *.gov
one)

I normally use internal ntp servers but in a particular context i've used
that ntp server and it worked perfectly.

Could be a Firewall issue, maybe?

It works on every firmware since .58, for me.

I have the exact same problem over here, and it seems some others on
the list and on IRC have it as well.  I'm still using IAX1 because of it.
My setup is very similar to yours, except that I also use SIP and H.323-
phones locally, which doesn't seem to make any difference.  Both
Asterisk-boxes have Zaptel-hardware in them (which seems to make a
difference, as IAX2 uses it's timing, if available), I use GSM and
trunking is off (turning it on didn't solve this problem, though).

[Asterisk-Users] Cisco 7910 compatibility

Hello,

I'm looking at getting some Cisco 7910G+SW phones through a local
liquidator. 

Is anyone currently using these with asterisk?

Any special limitations with this one as compared to the 7940 and 7960's?

Will they work with SIP or are they stuck in Cisco-land with Call-Manager
only?

 Other things:
 The phone constantly says Ethernet Disconnected. Even though it
tftp's
 configs and registers with the proxy.

Something is wrong with either the phone hardware itself, the network
port on the hub or switch it is attached to, the ethernet cable it is
connected with, or the 10/100 autonegotiation between the phone and the
switch. Any other problems you are having are quite likely due to these
network problems, and so you should fix this problem before you attempt
to debug any of the others.

The Ethernet Disconnected message on the phones is the equivalent of
having no link light on your NIC. Standard network connection debugging
applies.

Some tips: This problem is likely due to a bad cable or 10/100 auto
negotiation issues. Try known, working cables on a known working
switch/hub port to see if the problem occurs. Try plugging it into
another switch (preferably of different brand) if you have one. The 7960
cannot be forced to either 10 or 100mb operation, so if you do determine
that it's not the cable or phone hardware, you'll have to either find a
way to force 10 or 100mb operation on your switch or you'll have to get
a new one...

Once you get your phone hooked up to the network without problems, then
you can start looking at the software issues..

 Interesting -- this has indeed helped and the quality is better, too!
 

yep. jitterbuffer must be fixed in iax(2)

 But doesn't this mean I'm in trouble whenever the network decides to
 order packets around?
no. jitterbuffer isn't used to get the right packet order,
but for assuring that each packet 'hit the phone' at the right
time delta.
Quick example: if my sample size is 20ms , I must receive a 
packet every 20ms, in order to have a good play.
but network isn't perfect , so 2nd packet arrives 22ms, the 3rd
18 ms and so on... jitterbuffer is a buffer used to get
some packets, buffer them and play it at the right delta time,
in our example 20ms. Infact the real name for jitterbuffer
is Adaptive Voice Playout Buffer . adaptative means
that the software could increase/decrease the buffer
depending on the delta time of packets. More is the delta
differences, more is the buffer. If the delta diffs reduce,
the buffer shrink .
be aware that a jitterbuffer adds latency, so why is
preferable to have it 'adaptive'.

That's a very *light* and quick explanation , if you wanna
learn more, google with 'Adaptive Voice Playout Buffer' ;)

[Asterisk-Users] FXS and PBX Integration

2003-07-16 Thread Iván Aponte
Hi All,

I got a doubt about something I want to do  with asterisk. I  have this 
office (site a) with only  a Panasonic analog PBX and another office 
(site b) with an Asterisk Box with an ADIT 600 .  I want to interconnect 
both via IAX.  Is it possible to put a new asterisk box in site a 
without the channel bank  and put a card (FXS or FXO???)  and connect it 
to the pbx as a CO line ? What kind of card do I need a FXS or an FXO card?

Regards,

Iván Aponte

It sounds like you want to use the IAX to provide dialtone to the
Panasonic PBX?  You'd use FXS cards in the asterisk box to provide signal
into a CO port on the Panasonic.

[Asterisk-Users] Segmentation fault with chan_oh323

2003-07-16 Thread Michael Ulitskiy
Hi,

I'm trying to interconnect sip and h323 endpoints using asterisk
and asterisk crashes with segmentation fault whenever h323 
connection needs to be established. It registers with gatekeeper ok though.
Here are the symptoms.
If the call initiated by SIP device, asterisk replies to it Trying and then
silently crashes (it launched as asterisk -cd).
In debug log I can see the following:
Jul 16 18:11:52 DEBUG[196621]: File pbx.c, Line 1123 (pbx_extension_helper): Launching

That's it.
If the call initiated by H323 device, then I see
*CLI

Segmentation fault
and debug log shows:

That's it. And gatekeeper log shows that after normal ARQ-ACF exchange originating 
device
immediately sent DRQ.
If anybody knows a reason for this (and the way to fix it of course ;)), I'd 
appreciate if you let me know.
If you need any additional info to troubleshoot it, let me know too.
Thank a lot.

 Would it be hard to code a full duplex asterisk driver?
 Or is it a kernel driver issue?

 Oh, I see that you can download linux drivers from Banksia...

It is purely as issue with the Asterisk Channel Driver.   The Banksia kernel
driver is full-duplex.

[Asterisk-Users] Back-to-back connected boards load test

2003-07-16 Thread Alex Zarubin
Title: Back-to-back connected boards load test





Hi,


Two asterisk boards in two asterisk boxes are connected back-to-back with crossover cables.
T400P (box1, pri_net) creates a flow of calls, TE410P (box2, pri_cpe) takes them. Cables are OK.
Boxes are powerful. SMP is in place. Interrupts are distributed among CPUs.
There are 2 TE410Ps in the box2. Spans 1-4 in box1 are connected to spans 5-8 in box2.
The carrier T1 is in span 1 of box2 and provides clocking.


All we want is to be able to have a consistent flow of 92 calls. All we can do is 75-80 calls.


There are D-Channels downs and ups on the spans where new calls are sent. There are frame rejections and retransmissions.

There are read failures on D-Channel fds with 'Unknown error 500'. There are PRI events 6 and 8 (HDLC-related).
It gets worse as the total amount of calls goes up.


The log (from asterisk start to the test finish is attached). Would greatly appreciate any advice on how to fight this.


Thank you.

[Asterisk-Users] Question on peer to peer config

2003-07-16 Thread lists
I want to setup 2 asterisk boxes

in 2 different statesto make long distances calls.. I know I need to 
get a TDM400P 1 port FXS and a X100P

I think that I can use IAX to connect them over the internet

I want to be able to pick up the phone in state one, and have it pick up 
the line attached to the X100P in the other state.  I know I might have to 
enter a extention to get to the x100p. I also want any calls comming in 
over the X100p to ring the phone in the other state.

Has this been done by anyonedoes anyone feel like sharing configs?

Thanks,

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Problems getting 7960's to play nice withAsterisk

2003-07-16 Thread sjacobs
Ok so no more ethernet disconnected errors. However, I still am getting
the same voice mail errors. (BTW, don't plug the cable into the wrong port

  Something is wrong with either the phone hardware itself, the network
  port on the hub or switch it is attached to, the ethernet cable it is
  connected with, or the 10/100 autonegotiation between the phone and the
  switch. Any other problems you are having are quite likely due to these
  network problems, and so you should fix this problem before you attempt
  to debug any of the others.
 
  The Ethernet Disconnected message on the phones is the equivalent of
  having no link light on your NIC. Standard network connection debugging
  applies.
 
  Some tips: This problem is likely due to a bad cable or 10/100 auto
  negotiation issues. Try known, working cables on a known working
  switch/hub port to see if the problem occurs. Try plugging it into
  another switch (preferably of different brand) if you have one. The 7960
  cannot be forced to either 10 or 100mb operation, so if you do determine
  that it's not the cable or phone hardware, you'll have to either find a
  way to force 10 or 100mb operation on your switch or you'll have to get
  a new one...
 
  Once you get your phone hooked up to the network without problems, then
  you can start looking at the software issues..

[Asterisk-Users] Call Pickup

2003-07-16 Thread Jay Tyndall
	Hi,

I have been trying to workout how to use the call pickup.

So Far, I have the following in zapata.conf
[channels]
signalling = fxo_ks
context = local
pickupgroup=1
callgroup=1
channel = 1-3
When I dial *8# all I hear is busy tone.

What have I missed?
